Some gorgeous cloud chaser turquoise I've been working on. I love the hues of blues this material gives. Still an amateur at this lapidary hobby, but it's so much fun.

I got this as a kid from a very old collection and was told this was mines in the 50’s/60’s. It’s natural to my knowledge without treatments. One is darker bright blue with speckles of pyrite and denser with a higher pitch sound when “dropped”. The other is lighter more true turquoise color. It’s less dense and more dull when dropped. ( when I say dropped, I mean tapped on my granite countertop lightly). The lighter yellowish matrix is 60 grams. The darker blackish matrix is 71 grams. Does anyone have any more information or can elaborate or back up what I have found.
